Of course I negotiated on the price, but I did end up paying about $50-60 for it. At the time, it seemed like a lot, but I've seen Tibetan stuff marked up 500% in places like Bern, Switzerland and New York City, so I know it could fetch a lot of money on Ebay or something. But, it has sentimental value, so that's not even a thought which has occurred to me. I doubt I'll be in Nepal or northern India again any time soon!
